probably it is not the same issue but ... I've got a problem with BeautifulSoup that I've never encounter before ( I've got a new computer and a brand new installation Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 )
When I run BeautifulSoupTests.py ( If I am not mistaken, the BeautifulSoup installer also run this test and it's why I think that Clay's Unicode problem is somehow related ..)
